Details and realism are secondary, they only get in the way the silhouette is what really matters.” It was a revelation! “sculpting and drawing is the same - it’s all about the silhouette. Watching him sketch in the studio below was like magic! He explained to us why the sculpts based on his drawings were so appealing. The idea for this book took root years ago in Paris while filming a sculpting tutorial for our parent company Miniature Mentor. There we met a young concept artist named Edouard Guitton who was working as a lead designer for the famous Rackham Studios. It’s was his designs that made Rackham miniatures an international sensation. Check out our ARTISTS GALLERY in the navigation menu. Together they have produced 126 unique male and female anatomies with 378 angles all beautifully drawn for you to examine and explore. Each artist was carefully chosen for their style, appeal and underlying knowledge of anatomy. We solicited work from artists all over the world working in very different industries - comic books, video games, animation, illustration and even children’s books . The above picture will not influence the final concept. * NOTE: The 3 angles presented will be Front, Side and ¾ front - not the back angle. Each Artist will draw the figures in their own signature style to best of their ability in a completely finished, detailed Black & White render. The result is a volume unlike anything that exists today. A must have for any aspiring artist digital or traditional.
The goal: to translate a decades-old sketch into something more relevant to a modern aesthetic. Each angle is neutral, symetrical and unposed showing the front, side and ¾ front angles in a classic animation turn-around. Each artist recreates the Ideal Male and Female illustrated in their own signature style and without the aid of external reference. Master of Anatomy: The Ideal Male and Female, is a one-of-a-kind collection of artistic anatomy bringing together the work of 64 artists from different industries. But while the art world has evolved dramatically, these classic references have remained unchanged.
Andrew Loomis created the Ideal Male and Female references over 70 years ago and since then generations of artists have used them to understand the complex proportions of human anatomy.
